Out of stockThe Barrier™ is a soft ballistic insert designed to provide multi-threat protection to the wearer exposed to projectiles (HG2) and high-velocity fragments (STANAG 2920) during operations in hostile environments.
Its construction combines high-performance ballistic fibres with a PolyShield® composite, a proprietary technology developed by Egide Technologies.
Reinforced at the nanometric scale with graphene-based structures, the PolyShield® composite helps absorb and dissipate energy, reinforce resistance to perforation and intercept ultra-lightweight fragments projected at very high velocity.
Fully flexible, its architecture allows it to naturally follow the wearer's movements and preserve their mobility.
It is designed to be integrated into professional carriers of the GK, Cooneen, Verseidag, Condor type.
Ballistic tests were carried out without a trauma pad. Wearing a trauma pad is strongly recommended to absorb residual kinetic energy upon impact.

Our standard references are produced in limited stock: the shipping time is provided when you order, depending on availability.
For custom configurations (non-standard size, specific integration), a manufacturing lead time will be provided when your request is reviewed.
Delivery to mainland France, French overseas territories and the European Union. For deliveries outside the EU, please contact our sales team.
In accordance with regulations, you have 14 days to exercise your right of withdrawal, provided the product is returned in its original nylon packaging, sealed and unopened.
Once the nylon packaging has been opened, the product can no longer be resold to another customer: the integrity of the ballistic material cannot be guaranteed after opening. In this case, we take the product back for reconditioning or internal reuse, but no refund or exchange can be offered, except in the event of a proven manufacturing defect.
Return shipping costs are borne by the customer, except in the event of a defect or an error on our part.
All our VIGILIS® inserts come with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing and material defects, starting from their date of manufacture.
This warranty covers the repair or replacement of the product when a manufacturing or material defect is identified.
The recommended service life of our ballistic inserts is 5 years, provided that EGIDE's recommended conditions of use, storage and care are followed.
The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, damage resulting from improper storage or care, product modifications, mechanical damage, or any use that does not comply with EGIDE's recommendations.
The stated ballistic performance corresponds to the levels and conditions defined by the applicable test protocols. As actual conditions of use may differ from these standardised conditions, no ballistic protection can guarantee the complete absence of injury or damage under all circumstances.
Any insert that has sustained a ballistic impact must be immediately withdrawn from service and must no longer be used.
For any technical question, complaint or warranty claim, our team can be reached via the contact form.
